Advice on how to become a permanent resident requires a review of the situation as a whole. The fact you are on DACA which is being sunset, does not help an attorney in providing information necessary to answer your question. 

Average processing time for an I-130 is at about 6 months so it would appear that your application is well within normal time frame. On the issue of how long it will take your spouse to get to the US, that would depend on whether he has any prior or current immigration issues that would create any delay in the overseas processing of his case. Unfortunately, there is not sufficient information in your inquiry to answer that question. Generally, the average processing time on a "clean" case without any issues is between 3-6 months.

Every one should pay taxes regardless of their immigration status. IRS has its own rules if some one does not pay taxes. Evading taxes may also be prosecuted by US attorneys as a federal crime.

But once the permanent resident applies to naturalize, tax becomes an important issue and the person may not be eligible for naturalization if he or she did not properly pay his/her taxes.
